The company said the initiative forms part of a collaborative effort to equip CAF personnel with advanced systems to defend Canada and its national interests against the growing threat from hostile small drones. In 2024, CACI was awarded the first phase of the contract.
“The prevalence of small uncrewed aerial vehicles presents a growing threat to the U.S. and its allies, expanding the need for systems to detect and defeat them,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer. “CACI’s software-defined C-UAS systems leverage our decades of experience in electronic warfare and lessons learned from our vast understanding of how the technology rapidly changes and evolves. With thousands of sensors in operation globally, we are confident the Canada Integrated C-UAS vehicle will protect Canadian Armed Forces personnel whenever and wherever they are deployed.”
Under phase two, CACI will provide modular, scalable and tailorable systems fully compatible with a dismounted omnidirectional 360-degree system. These mobile solutions can detect, define, deny, degrade and defeat drone threats from every angle and are designed to be fielded quickly and deployed with ease.
